I know this is a very exciting time for you, getting your first puppy and all, but to me I see a red flag here on that breeder. Any reputable breeder would never let a Yorkie puppy go till 12 to 16 weeks, sometimes even longer. They also have the dew claws removed and the tail docked in the USA anyway. If you haven't paid her yet, I wouldn't. I'd look for a reputable breeder. I also would not buy one without a health certificate and a bile acid test done on it. Make sure you get a contract stating they will give your money back if the puppy developes any serious health problems in the first year, and that the breeder will refund all money in the event it does. Take the puppy to a Vet. the day you get it. Make the appointment a couple of weeks before you get the puppy.
You know, I really do wish you the very best and would love to see you happily in love with your new fur-kid, but I'm afraid you may be in for high Vet. bills and a not so healthy puppy by buying from that breeder.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do. Just keep us all posted on progress. |
